Chen Zhizhi understood Li Ke's words and immediately replied, "Of course I'll do my part. Come on, let's go to your room first, and then I'll tell you everything that's been going on lately, and you'll know that this definitely wasn't something I did."
Li Ke followed Chen Zhizhi back to the room that had been prepared for her. The two cameras and the disconnected wires were still on the table in the room.
Chen Zhizhi picked them up and looked at them, then looked at where they were hidden, and then said to Li Ke, "I had someone make some minor alterations to your room, but the basic facilities were already complete. I didn't make any major changes, just added some small pieces of furniture and textiles to make you feel more cozy. Other than that, I absolutely did not do anything else."
However, I suspect these are just little tricks played by Chen Jiaojiao and her brother. You don't know, Chen Jiaojiao failed her college entrance exam this time. Then Li Zhenzhen fired the newly hired housekeeper, claiming that the housekeeper's cooking caused Chen Jiaojiao to feel unwell and faint in the exam room.
After the nanny was fired, Li Zhenzhen never mentioned hiring her again. It seemed to me that she was waiting for you to come back so she could continue working for you. I feel that the mother and daughter might be taking their anger out on you.
That little rascal Chen Qi is a real troublemaker. His sister bombed her exams, and maybe he wanted to get revenge for her, so he resorted to these underhanded tricks.
In an effort to clear her name, Chen Zhizhi went to great lengths to smear the two siblings from the suburbs.
Li Ke laughed from the side, "You talk as if you're so innocent. Chen Zhizhi, you're used to being a bad person."
Chen Zhizhi's face turned cold, her expression frozen as she turned her head and stared at Li Ke with a sinister look: "I don't need you to remind me, Li Ke. We're barely in a cooperative relationship now. If you really want to mess things up, I'm not a spineless coward who will always be bullied."
Li Ke snorted and stopped provoking Chen Zhizhi, starting to think about what Chen Zhizhi had said.
In her previous life, Chen Jiaojiao also failed to complete her college entrance examination, and the person who took the blame at that time was Li Ke.
At that time, Li Ke carried the lunch for them. The two of them ate together. Li Ke finished the exam as if nothing had happened, while Chen Jiaojiao fainted from the pain shortly after entering the exam room.
It's truly baffling that she hasn't shown up during this timeframe and is still being held against by this mother and daughter.
"What are you really thinking? This has nothing to do with me, I swear!" Chen Zhizhi urged from the side. She had a date with Zuo Hui that evening and didn't have time to waste with Li Ke.
Zuo Hui said he would introduce her to a very important friend today. Since Zuo Hui said he was very important, Chen Zhizhi naturally couldn't underestimate him, and she couldn't miss the opportunity.
Li Ke went to get a hairdryer and said to Chen Zhizhi with her back to her, "I'll check it myself. You can leave now."
Chen Zhizhi muttered, "Don't falsely accuse me. It's enough that I've suffered this undeserved misfortune. I'm at a critical time right now, and I won't cause trouble for myself. Don't hurt me either. Contact me again if anything happens."
When Li Ke finished drying her hair and changing her clothes, it was just past six o'clock in the evening. There was no one in the living room, and the kitchen was also empty; she didn't see anyone.
Li Ke glanced at it casually and walked out of the Chen family villa. She had already contacted Zhou Heng by phone and was now planning to meet with him.
There was no one in the living room at the moment. Grandma Chen and Aunt Chen were resting in her large room. There was a small bed in Grandma Chen's room, and she would sleep on the small bed if Aunt Chen needed to stay with her.
Grandma Chen was seething with anger. She had been making calls everywhere, first to her son, then to her daughter-in-law, and finally to her husband, but no one answered; the lines were always busy.
As the mistress of the Chen family, she suffered such humiliation at the hands of a lowly maid who ate for free, yet she couldn't vent her anger. Grandma Chen lay on the bed, clutching her chest, groaning in frustration.
Aunt Chen felt aggrieved. Her elbows and knees were sore from the bumps, and her lower back was also sore and weak from being sat on by Grandma Chen. She dared not move around freely.
Although she is only in her early forties and not very old, this sudden blow is still quite hard on her body.
Thinking about how badly she had fallen, with bruises on her elbows and knees, Grandma Chen didn't plan to call a car to take her to the doctor. She just told her to put some ointment on her and rest in bed, saying she would be fine overnight. Aunt Chen felt extremely frustrated.
That old hag is so stingy, she should just die of stinginess!
If she doesn't become more shrewd and cunning by following someone like that, how much money could she possibly earn working for the Chen family for so long?
Leaving aside the two resentful women remaining in the Chen family villa, Li Ke left the villa, hailed a taxi, and got off at a shopping mall.
She found a secluded spot, changed into the same disguise she had worn when she first met Zhou Heng, only changing her clothes.
After leaving the mall, Li Ke walked for more than half an hour on the pedestrian street before arriving at the tea house where she had arranged to meet Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt, a silver chain around his neck, and his expression remained cold. He wore blue jeans, which made him look even thinner.
Li Ke entered the tea bar and glanced around, immediately spotting Zhou Heng sitting by the glass wall. The man stood out quite a bit in that spot.
Li Ke sat down opposite him and took out her phone to show him: Where is the stuff?
Zhou Heng glanced at Li Ke, took a file folder from his bag, and when Li Ke reached for it, Zhou Heng stopped her: "Pay first."
